Temporal variation of codaQ during Hualien earthquake of 1986 in eastern Taiwan

The May 20, 1986, Hualien earthquake sequence occurred on the northeastern coast of Taiwan. TheM=6.1 (GS mb) mainshock was followed by a large number of closely-clustered aftershocks with the largest being anM=5.5 event. One seismic station, TWD of the Taiwan Telemetered Seismographic Network, is located in the surface projection of the source region and provides excellent recordings of the entire earthquake sequence. These recordings, plus events occurring in the same source area preceding the mainshock, offer a unique opportunity to study the spatial and temporal variations of codaQ in a region of active subduction. A simple technique is devised that uses the envelope of the coda waveform to enable a quick determination of the codaQ from drum records. For recordings with a peak power at about 8 Hz, the following findings have been obtained: 1. The ambient codaQ near an active subduction region was as low as 145; 2. There was no significant decrease in codaQ within the period beginning one year and four months prior to the mainshock; 3. There was a significant drop of codaQ immediately after the mainshock; this drop lasted approximately two days before returning to the ambient level; 4. CodaQ values varied with focal depth.     

330硅质断裂带变形特征及其与铀成矿作用的关系

本文从应力矿物、岩石组构、古应力估算及构造地球化学等方面对330产铀硅质断裂带的形成环境、发展演化及变形机制作了初步分析,并讨论了它们与铀成矿作用的关系。通过构造岩及石英、云母的微观研究,认为本断裂带经历了韧性—脆性—脆韧性—脆性的交替变换变形过程。韧性变形具有波状消光、变形纹、流动构造、B+S构造岩等显微构造和组构特征。据重结晶晶粒粒径测定,其差异应力平均值为0.5干巴。脆性变形与韧性变形明显不同,表现出破裂构造和角砾岩类发育,可见吕对尔线和石英沙钟构造以及S构造岩或均质组构等特点。早期韧性变形阶段形成的糜棱岩是一种富硅岩石,硅除主要来自后来的热液外,也来自原岩的动力分异和动热变质作用。韧性变形阶段之后接着是脆性变形阶段,岩石产生破裂构造,充填了早期脉体。成矿作用主要发生在形成碎裂糜棱岩的脆韧性变形阶段,此时的含矿断裂带是一个半开放系统,成矿的地质环境是:温度200—300℃,差异应力0.5干巴,区域差应力0.5干巴,深度1—2公里,基本上属低温浅成环境。     

Statistical parameters of Bhuj earthquake sequence of January 26th, 2001

An intraplate earthquake of magnitude (M _c) 6.9 (Anon 2001a) struck Bhuj and the adjoining region of Kachchh in Gujarat on January 26th, 2001 at about 0316 hrs (GMT) and was followed by a number of aftershocks. The epicentre of this earthquake was located at 23.4‡N and 70.28‡E close to the Kachchh mainland fault. The intensity observed around the epicenter was X on the MSK scale. A study of 531 aftershocks, in the magnitude range of 3.0–5.7, recorded at Vadodara Seismological Observatory till March 31st, 2001 has been carried out and various statistical parameters calculated. The total energy released during the study period is calculated to be 8.2 × 10¹⁴ joule. Sudden occurrence of the main shock without any foreshock in the same tectonic system is a unique feature of this sequence. Theb- value (0.86), value of M₀-M₁ (1.2), high M₁/M₀ (0.89) and high value of the decay constanth (0.91), all support the tectonic origin of the present study.     

A bound for the Euclidean norm of the difference between the best linear unbiased estimator and a linear unbiased estimator

 A bound is established for the Euclidean norm of the difference between the best linear unbiased estimator and any linear unbiased estimator in the general linear model. The bound involves the spectral norm of the difference between the dispersion matrices of the two estimators, and the residual sum of squares, all evaluated at the assumed model, but is independent of the provenance of the observation vector at hand. The bound, a straightforward consequence of first principles in Gauss–Markov theory, generalizes previous results on the difference between the best linear unbiased estimator and the ordinary least-squares estimator. In a numerical example from repeated precise levelling, the bound is used to analyse the sensitivity of estimates of vertical motion to the choice of estimator.

Linear combinations of order statistics to estimate the position and scale parameters of the Generalized Pareto distribution

 Ad hoc techniques for estimating the position and the scale parameters of the Generalized Pareto distribution are introduced. The estimators proposed are simple linear combinations of the order statistics: they provide valuable estimates of the parameters of interest, both when the shape parameter is known and when it is unknown (this latter case being of great relevance in practical applications), and show a good performance as well when the sample size is small. The procedures are tested on simulated data, and comparisons with other techniques are shown.

Inverted Two-Step Floating Catchment Area Method for Measuring Facility Crowdedness

The popular two-step floating catchment area (2SFCA) method has been widely used in the literature to measure spatial accessibility of residents for a service. The 2SFCA method accounts for the ratio between the supply capacity and demand amount of the service as well as the complex spatial interaction between them. This article introduces an inverted two-step floating catchment area (i2SFCA) method that is derived from an extension of the classic Huff model and used to capture the “crowdedness” (scarcity of resource or intensity of competition) for facilities. The method is illustrated and validated by a case study of evaluating hospital inpatient services in Florida. Several possible uses of the measure are also discussed.     

采用设计数据计算房产面积的探讨

房产面积的测算,在很多情况下采用设计图纸上的尺寸进行相应的计算。但由于施工控制网误差、放样误差、施工误差等的综合影响,导致了实际房子的尺寸与设计的理论数据有差异,从而使得算得的房产面积与实际的不符。这种差异或者说误差能达到什么样的数量级?对面积计算的影响有多大?本文分析了这些差异即误差的一般规律,对依据设计数据所计算的房产面积精度进行了探讨。
